Marco Pierre White The Pear Tree Inn

Top Lane,
WHITLEY,
Melksham,
SN12 8QX

From the flagstone floors to the grand open fires and quirky collection of agricultural artefacts, the farmhouse character of this village pub remains. The wisteria-clad stone inn epitomises the best of modern interior design, from the beautifully crafted furniture to the positioning of the stone ginger beer jars. Like other inns belonging to the celebrity chef, it offers a carefully selected worldwide wine list and The Governor ale, named after Marco's greyhound. Dine in the bar, restaurant or peaceful gardens and order from the newly-launched steakhouse-style menu, with 28-day aged grass-fed Scottish cattle providing a range of cuts, from 8oz fillet to a hearty 16oz T-bone. There is also a selection of enticing other main courses from the grill including breast of Gressingham duck; half a free-range chicken; and fillet of organic Severn & Wye salmon. Finish with Sicilian lemon sorbet or honeycomb ice cream
